Tragedy in Tibet

Less than a year ago I was in Tibet, strolling the very streets that have just witnessed such wreckage and carnage. It was obvious then that the long-suffering Tibetans were planning to protest in the run-up to the Olympics. It was obvious too, that this would be followed by a violent crackdown. We won't get to know much more about this, though, because news reports are already being banned. One day, we will live in a world that cares more about justice than entertainment. Till then, this year's gold medal for repression, oppression and suppression goes... to China!
